Subject: 60 Minutes gets its hands on the no-fly list

	Unlikely Terrorists On No-Fly List
	Steve Kroft reports lists includes President of Bolivia,
	dead 9/11 hijackers
	http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/10/05/60minutes/main2066624.shtml

Excerpt:

	Gary Smith, John Williams and Robert Johnson are some of those
	names. Kroft talked to 12 people with the name Robert Johnson, all
	of whom are detained almost every time they fly. The detentions
	can include strip searches and long delays in their travels.

	"Well, Robert Johnson will never get off the list," says
	Donna Bucella, who oversaw the creation of the list and has
	headed up the FBI's Terrorist Screening Center since 2003. She
	regrets the trouble they experience, but chalks it up to the
	price of security in the post-9/11 world. "They're going to be
	inconvenienced every time ... because they do have the name of
	a person who's a known or suspected terrorist," says Bucella.
